Song That Mentions The Mets

bmfc1 Jun 08 2008 07:47 AM

Pat Monahan (not to be confused w/the late Senator from New York), "Her Eyes"--the Mets are mentioned among many other references (Met unis are seen in the video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpT8-J3xGMc She's not afraid; she just likes to use her night light When she gets paid, true religion gets it all If they fit right. She's a little bit manic, completely organic Doesn't panic for the most part. She's old enough to know, and young enough not to say no To any chance that she gets for home plate tickets to see the Mets. Like everybody, she's in over her head, Dreads Feds, Grateful Dead, and doesn't take meds. She's a Gemini Capricorn Thinks all men are addicted to porn. I don't agree with her half the time, But, damn I'm glad she's mine. Her eyes, that's where hope lies. That's where blue skies Meet the sunrise. Her eyes, that's where I go When I go home. She got the kinda strength that every man wishes he had. She loved Michael Jackson up until he made Bad. Tells me that she lives about a hundred lives, Scares me to death when she thinks and drives, Says cowboy hats make her look fat, and I'm so glad she's mine. Her eyes, that's where hope lies. That's where blue skies Meet the sunrise. Her eyes, that's where I go When I go home. She doesn't know the word 'impossible' Don't care where I've been and doesn't care where we're goin' to. She takes me as I am, and that ain't easy. She's beautiful. So beautiful. And sometimes I think she's truly crazy. And I love it. Her eyes, that's where hope lies. That's where blue skies Always meet the sunrise. Her eyes, that's where I go When I go home. Her eyes, that's where hope lies. That's where blue skies Always meet the sunrise. Her eyes, that's where I go When I go home. She's not afraid she just likes to use her night light.

Also "All Things Considered" by the Bosstones, about a delusional old man: There is this older guy That comes around from time to time We're sure that he fought in the war The war in Vietnam Most of what he tells us No one's verified He swears that he was there The day that Brendan Behan died He also claims he trained A kid named Cassius Clay And cost Goldwater the election On election day If he was still with us today Then he would introduce Us to his closest friend The one and only Lenny Bruce The truth is what he's been through And what he's had to do What he's seen, and what he's done All things considered What he's telling us Isn't hurting anyone We knew it's true He's short a few Check out the deck, it's light Said he wrote the entire soundtrack For A Hard Day's Night On Peyton Place Played second base He says but he regrets The stadium was Shea The team the New York Mets The truth is what he's been through And what he's had to do What he's seen, and what he's done All things considered What he's telling us Isn't hurting anyone All things considered He's not bitter He's not mean No, he's not done All things considered What he's telling us Isn't hurting anyone There is this older guy That comes around from time to time We're sure that he fought in the war The war in Vietnam Most of what he tells us No one's verified He swears he was there The day that Brendan Behan died The truth is what he's been through And what he's had to do What he's seen, and what he's done All things considered What he's telling us Isn't hurting anyone All things considered He's not bitter He's not mean No, he's not done All things considered What he's telling us Isn't hurting anyone Every now and then We hear our song

From Adam Sandler's Turkey Song "I can't believe the Mets traded Darryl Strawberry" Off topic, but anyone get slightly bothered when songs (and other forms of entertainment) get the "facts" wrong for the sake of whatever? And here its for the sake of making a line work and rhyme. Though "I can't believe the Mets got rid of Darryl Strawberry" would have fit better than "traded" as I'd love to know who we got for Straw! (No, the compensetory pick that became Bobby Jones doesn't count)

It's far down the list of what is bothersome about Adam Sandler.

Another example, one episode of Cheers revolved around a random vintage Red Sox game that Sam Malone pitched in would be broadcast that day and the gang wanted to watch it in the bar. The listings actually said "Sam Malone, relief pitcher." Huh, what TV listing (especially in the late 80s or early 90s) would ever give you a complete box score or run down of who played in a ball game like that?

If I have an emotional stake in the thing, it's more nettlesome. In Bad News Bears in Breaking Training, Kelly Leak somehow gets up four times in four innings, despite his team not exactly rallying through the lineup. More importantly, the orignal Bad News Bears features Stein coming up between Leak and Engleberg. Whay would Buttermaker set his lineup with scrubs in between his best hitters? Also, when Amanda is unavailable, he turns back to Stein to pitch. Why not pitch Kelly, whose arm is what originally got him noticed? (I guess I have a lot of Stein-based questions.) In fact, what Little League team ever used their best athlete in the outfield? These are real issues. Cheers, not so much.

Wow, you might as well criticize Tim Robbins aka Nuke LaLoosh for throwing like a palsied child and at the same time being a character who is a "prospect."

Because opposing teams, except when Amanda pitched, were hitting rockets to the outfield. He needed to be out there to track down all those balls. And did anybody other than Rudy Stein or Amanda ever pitch? I'd love to get a look at the books Oglethorpe kept.

Oh, I do. I used that film as a jumping off point for a thread about good baseball films that at times show a poor understanding of baseball. Not so much as BNB, though, because I don't think BD is an otherwise great film, like BNB.

"Skypager" by A Tribe Called Quest "If you get your high, then mine is next The 'S' in skypager really stands for sex Beeper's goin off like Don Trump gets checks Keep my bases loaded like the New York Mets" I like the Tribe, but this is a stupid song, tho.
